And when couples interact with each other naturally and affectionately my job becomes pretty easy. This was definitely the case with Laura and Jesse. They invited me to their wedding at Wild Dunes out on the Grand Pavilion. It is one of my favorite places to shoot wedding images on all of Isle of Palms mainly because there is so much variety. Most of my clients book me for my candid moments but Laura and Jesse really wanted a bunch of environmental portraits that showed off the beach location and venue. It seems like the phrase “posed photos” has a negative vibe among wedding photographers for some reason, but I personally love taking portraits as long as the couple is fun and enjoying themselves. I’ve included some of my favorite ‘formal’ photos below but check out the slideshow for the full wedding. Oh and if you are looking to book a wedding out at Wild Dunes, give Samantha Hazard an email; she’s the person you want planning your wedding for sure!

Since Lee Morris and I launched it back in Feb, it has become one of the most exciting projects I have been working on outside of wedding and commercial photography. To help inspire other photographers, we decided it would be fun to try to organize a normal fashion photoshoot but instead of using a professional camera we would use the worst camera we owned: the Apple iPhone 3Gs!
I have never experienced posting a viral web video before but over night we had the most highly viral video of my career. Within 8 days, the video had been seen by over half a million people world wide and was featured on thousands of big named websites. Our own website was crashing, my email was being swamped with notes from people from every country, and our site had 10x more viewers than before the iphone video. It was fun having Lee doing all the photography as I filmed the whole shoot. I’m scared we may never top this Fstoppers Original video but it was a blast to create. I hope you feel inspired!
